Student nominated for award

The faculty and staff of Polo Park Middle School have nominated eighth-grader Tammi Musumeci for the Character Counts award sponsored by the Sun Sentinel.

Tammi was raised in Marlboro, N. J., and moved to Wellington in seventh grade. School officials say her kindness and exceptional work ethic made her a noticeable edition to the student body from the start of her days at the school. They say she takes time to stop and greet people with a warm smile no matter how busy she is, putting others and their needs and feelings in high regard.

In her spare time, she enjoys softball and fishing and engages in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She wants to become a doctor.
